H&M Hot Dog

[peapod1980]

In Defuniak Springs--highly recommend it for great burgers and hot dogs! H&M has been there since the '60's, and let's just say the grill there is seasoned to perfection. Current owners are great people, super friendly, transplants from St. Louis. Thanks to Steeling1, it's the first place we stopped when we hit Walton Co. and the last place we hit as we left. Next time you're up that way (or make a special trip, even!)

ok you are not going to believe this but the best hot dogs are at the outlet mall, dave's dogs. they also have a stand in the commons and now a new drive thru in destin. the buns are like texas toast.

Heading North on 331, take a right onto Hwy. 90.
Turn right onto 6th Street.
H&M is on the left.

H&M Hotdogs is a Walton landmark. It is one block off Hwy. 331, next to the taxi stand/pool hall. The former owners were two ladies who worked for years in our elementary school cafeteria. They wore white uniforms and hairnets at the cafeteria and continued the tradition at the H&M until their retirement. You can only get hotdogs or hamburgers there and you pull your own icy Coke from the chest behind the bar. Those ladies never aged.

FYI, before Julie Childs' death, she would drive 20 miles to the Costco (Sam's to you) closest to Napa to buy their roasted chicken. She was often up here assisting with the restaurant bearing her name at the Copia Center for Food, Wine and the Arts. She always maintained the Costco chickens were the best, and are also the most reasonably priced I have seen anywhere. If it was good enough Julia, I'll take it. These are big, big birds, though. I know they probably never scratched on the ground, but do you think they were raised on flashlight batteries? Inquiring minds want to know...
